    LibreSignage v1.1.0 release
    
    After a lot of development LibreSignage v1.1.0 is finally
    here. This release includes a ton of new features as well as
    bug fixes and more. Users of LibreSignage v1.0.x are encouraged
    to upgrade as soon as possible.
    
    This release includes support for automatically migrating data
    created by older versions of LibreSignage so the upgrade process
    should be quite easy. There's no manual work needed; data is
    migrated automatically when the web interface is accessed.
    
    Some major changes:
      - A rewrite of the server-side API system.
      - Major backend code improvements.
      - Support for HTTP caching slides resources.
      - A data migration system for simplifying upgrades
        between LibreSignage versions.
    
    Docker images for this release will appear in the LibreSignage
    Docker Hub repository as "eerotal/libresignage:v1.1.0" and
    "eerotal/libresignage:latest". You can also build this release
    from source by following the instructions provided in the readme.
    Note that the build system has changed a bit from previous versions,
    so you should probably give the instructions a read even if you
    have built previous versions yourself.
    
    Changelog v1.1.0:
      - [internal] Separate private and public files in the directory tree
                   to naturally prevent access to private files. (PR #56)
      - [feature]  Implement [bgimg] and [bgcolor] markup tags for styling
                   slide backgrounds. (issue #75)
      - [feature]  Implement buttons for manual slide navigation in display.
      - [internal] Mostly rewrite the API system
      - [internal] Use PHP autoloading and namespaces instead of direct
                   file includes.
      - [internal] Improve various classes and PHP files to make them more object
                   oriented.
      - [internal] Implement a testing framework with PHPUnit and write tests
                   for all API endpoints.
      - [bugfix]   Fix various bugs in the backend that were discovered while
                   writing tests.
      - [build]    Make the build system more modular.
      - [build]    Write separate interactive and CLI versions of the apache2-debian
                   target. (apache2-debian-interactive and apache2-debian)
      - [build]    Various improvements to the build system.
      - [docs]     Generate documentation with Doxygen.
      - [internal] Implement HTTP cache support for slide asset fetching endpoints.
                   (issue #53)
      - [bugfix]   Fix a bug where uploading/removing slide assets was allowed even
                   when the slide was not locked. (issue #81)
      - [bugfix]   Fix a bug where a slide could be deleted even when it was
                   not locked. (issue #80)
      - [bugfix]   Fix a bug where an error was thrown when changing queues if an
                   unsaved slide was open. (#86)
      - [feature]  Implement a data migration system for simplifying upgrades
                   between different versions of LibreSignage.

    LibreSignage v1.1.0-beta-1 release
    
    This is the first beta release for LibreSignage v1.1.0. The full
    changelog is included below.
    
    This release includes a rewrite of the server-side API system and major
    improvements to all server-side code. Integration tests were also
    written for the API.
    
    Another important new feature, made possible by the API rewrite, is the

      - [feature]  Make it possible to preserve instance data when
                   reinstalling.
      - [feature]  Implement a live slide preview in the editor.
      - [internal] Self host font files. (I actually don't particularly
                   like including binary files in the GIT tree but I don't
                   know of a better way so the font files are now included
                   in the tree.)
      - [internal] Use SCSS instead of plain CSS for the stylesheets.
      - [internal] Import Bootstrap straight into the _default.scss file
                   instead of including it in the HTML <head> tag.
      - [internal] Process CSS using PostCSS /w Autoprefixer.
      - [bugfix]   Fix a major security issue where the contents of the
                   'data/' directory were accessible by requesting the
                   different files with eg. a web browser. Even directory
                   listings were enabled.
      - [feature]  Completely rewrite the markup transpiler system to
                   improve its error detecting and reporting capabilities.
                   The rewrite also introduced many other improvements. The
                   transpiler now uses the familiar lexer-parser-evaluator
                   architecture that most compilers use.
      - [feature]  Improve markup error reporting in the editor UI. Erroneous
                   code lines are now highlighted in the editor input.
      - [bugfix]   Confirm before changing the queue if an unsaved slide
                   is being edited in the editor (#17).
      - [bugfix]   Prevent creating duplicate queues in the editor.
      - [bugfix]   Don't show unstyled slide previews to users in the editor
                   by making sure the necessary CSS is loaded before showing
                   content.
      - [bugfix]   Fix a bug resulting in spurious slide changes on the
                   display page.
      - [improve]  Make the login and user manager pages more mobile friendly.
      - [feature]  Implement a Quick Help view in the editor.
      - [Internal] Implement a new way of exporting PHP object data by using
                   a class called Exportable.
      - [feature]  Implement slide locking to prevent simultaneous editing
                   of slides (issue #18).
      - [internal] Rewrite most of the PHP session handling code. Implement
                   a new class called Session for handling & storing session
                   data.
      - [internal] Implement a simple assertion system in JavaScript.
      - [internal] Implement file uploading via the API system.
      - [feature]  Implement media storage & uploading in the backend and
                   editor.
      - [feature]  Implement embedding video in slides using [video] tags.

  • v0.1.0-beta
    LibreSignage v0.1.0-beta
    
    This is the first beta release of LibreSignage. Since releasing the
    first alpha version, a massive amount of things have changed and
    a lot of of new features have been implemented. In fact, the changelog
    for this release would be so big that I'm not even going to write one.
    If you want to see what has changed, you can read the commit history
    instead.
    
    LibreSignage has matured quite a bit since the first alpha release and
    I'd even consider it mostly usable in real world scenarios by now.
    However, many new features and changes are planned, so things will
    probably still change quite a bit in the future.
  • v0.1.0-alpha
    LibreSignage v0.1.0-alpha release
    
    First alpha release of LibreSignage. All basic functionality is
    implemented and LibreSignage is starting to be usable. Some bugs
    and other problems probably still exist and a lot of planned
    features are not yet implemented.
